"you guys, would you stop so we can decide where were going to eat for dinner," kevin said from the couch.
out of sheer boredome nick, aj, and brian had started jumping on the beds in the hotel room. the three girls had come in the room from shopping and the guys had pulled emma and amanda up with them. kevin was getting frustrated and daisy and howie were just watching everything TRYING not to laugh.
"we dont care where we go kev," aj said holding amandas hands as they jumped on one of the beds.
"yeah, you de...WHOA!" brian yelled as nick knocked him off balance. he grabbed emma as he fell who grabbed nick so they ended up in a dogpile on the bed.
daisy burst out laughing,"are you guys okay?"
"i will be as soon as nick gets up. dude your crushing us both," brian said.
nick stuck his tongue out at brian and rolled off the pile pulling emma with him,"you okay tink?"
"yeah, lets do that again," she said and started to stand up.
brian grabbed her around the waist and pulled her back down between him and nick,"later baby girl," he said noticing the death look kevin was giving them.
"are you all done?" kevin asked giving amanda and aj the same look.
aj sat down and pulled amanda down on his lap and nodded.
"finally. well since none of you wanted to decide where were going to eat, i did. lets go," kevin said standing up and holding his hand out to daisy.
she took his hand and followed him out with howie. the five sitting on the beds rolled their eyes and followed them out.
"hey mandy, have you seen em?" nick asked amanda as he walked into the room her and aj were sharing.
"nope, i was just gonna come over and ask if you knew where aj was...nicky," amanda said.
"my girlfriend is with your boyfriend, yeah i feel REALLY safe," nick said sitting on the edge of the bed.
amanda started to say something when the door opened and aj walked in carrying emma on his back,"hey guys," he said.
"aj...put my girlfr...omg...amanda, look at your bf..."nick said, squinting at aj as if he was trying to see him more clearly.
"what?" aj asked innocently setting emma down.
amanda looked up,"what exa...aj..."she stood up and walked over to him,"...you pierced your eyebrow..."
"oh yeah...do you like it?"
she looked at the silver stud going through his eyebrow,"actually i do...kevs gonna have a fit, but i like it."
he smiled and put his arms around her,"im not the only one who did something..." he said nodding towards emma who had taken a seat next to nick.
nick looked at her,"where?"
"my nipple," she said trying not to laugh.
nicks jaw dropped and he turned white,"your what?"
aj and amanda burst out laughing on the expression on nicks face.
"sweetie, i was kidding," emma said. she lifted the bottom of her tank top and showed him the silver hoop with the green jewel in it pierced through her belly button.
nick let out a deep breath,"...i like it...wait..you with aj...why didnt you ask me?" he said pouting.
aj laughed,"i told her how you fainted the first time i got my ear pierced."
nick turned bright red,"thanks SO much," he mumbled.
emma put her arm around him,"your cute when your red."
he smiled and kissed her on the forehead,"so when does our flight to new york leave?" he asked resting his head on her shoulder.
amanda checked her watch,"oops...we have five minutes, aj are you done packing?"
aj nodded and sat down on the couch. emma stood up and pulled nick to his feet,"we'll meet you guys at the elevator," she said pulling him into their room.
"hey em, we have tonight off right?" nick asked as he grabbed their suitcases.
"um...yeah. tonight and tomorrow night," she said checking around the room to make sure they had everything.
"okay...can you get the door for me please..."
she nodded and opened the door,"you want help?"
"no thanks," he said stumbling out of the room.
she laughed and followed him out of the room and down the hall to the elevator where aj and amanda were already waiting, holding the door open for them.
"where are the others?" nick asked as they piled in with all their stuff.
"kevin called our room right after you guys left, their already down in the van waiting for us," amanda said as they went down to the lobby.
they got off and through the back where the van was waiting. the guys dropped off their stuff while the girls got in the van.
"so do we get to meet carson?" daisy asked as they got into the limo just outside of JFK.
"oooh carson," amanda and emma said at the same time.
all five guys rolled their eyes,"yes, you get to meet carson," brian said as they headed to mtv studios.
the guys were going to be on TRL so they had to make a trip to the studio. their appearance hadnt been announced so they werent really expecting a huge crowd.
they arrived at the studio about 15 minutes later and went through the back entrance. they got up to the dressing room and made themselves comfortable.
"are we going to change or wear what we have on?" howie asked.
he was wearing black pants and a black sweater, both nick and brian had on jeans with jerseys and baseball hats, kevin was wearing jeans with a black tshirt and black leather jacket, and aj was wearing black pants with a black wifebeater, leather jacket and black cowboy hat.
"frick and frack over there need to change," kevin said as daisy tried to fix his hair.
"whats wrong with what were wearing?" brian asked.
"yeah, its clean," nick said.
kevin gave them both a look and brian rolled his eyes,"fine...come on nick. lets go find the wardrobe room."
nick nodded and kissed emma on the cheek,"we'll be right back," he said and followed brian out of the room.
they returned five minutes before they were supposed to go on the air. both still had their jeans on but nick had put on a dark blue sweater and slicked his hair back while brian had put on a wifebeater with a dark blue button down shirt and glasses.
"is this better?" brian asked.
"bri...sweetie...you dont wear glasses..." emma said glancing at him.
"i know but i found these in the dressing room and i thought they were nice...you dont like them?"
"no i do...you look cute," she said kissing him on the cheek.
one of the studio people came to get them. brian picked up tyke,"yes im taking with me and no you cant stop me," he said and walked out of the room.
the guys rolled their eyes and followed him.
"okay guys, what are we gonna do for nick and ajs bdays?" daisy asked when she was sure they were out of earshot.
"well i was thinking we could have surprise party for them between their bdays..." emma said.
amanda picked up the boys schedule and looked at it,"we'll actually be home for like a week."
"okay...well how about we rent a club for a night and throw a party there," daisy said.
"thats perfect," emma said. "okay lets start planning, amanda do you have anything to write on in your backpack?"
"yup....how much time do we have before they get back?" amanda asked pulling a notebook out of her backpack.
"um...half hour," daisy said checking her watch.
so for the next half hour the girls planned for their suprise party while the guys were being interviewed by carson.
"emma! are you ready to go YET?!" nick yelled from the bottom of the stairs.
"in a minute!" she yelled back from her room. she uncovered the phone,"daisy, did bri get there with the cakes yet?"
"yeah...him and kev and just walked in."
"okay good, were gonna leave right now to pick up aj and amanda so we should be at the club in about 15 minutes," emma said.
"okay, see ya then."
"see ya, bye." she hung up the phone and checked her reflection on a final time. she was dressing in a short black pinstripe spaghetti strap dress with black platforms. she grabbed her purse and went downstairs,"im ready nicky, lets go."
nick turned around and stared at her,"wow...you look good."
"so do you," she said hugging him.
he was dressed completely in black with his hair slicked back,"nevermind, we dont need to hurry," he said putting his arms around her.
she laughed and pulled away,"come on, aj and amanda are waiting."
he made a face and grabbed his keys off the table,"fine then, lets go."
